Master List of Lowest Priced Homes in SoCal

Welcome to 2011 !

A full month already gone and more on the way! I know there where times last year when we all thought the news was going to bury us forever and never begin to return to normal.

Well, Looks Like We Made It!

Home prices are going up - Great news for you who are thinking of selling!

Banks are lending more money - Great News for Buyers!

Interest Rates are still on the LOW side - Better get crack'n if you want to lock in a lower rate - TALK TO ME ASAP!

Now is the time to BUY or SELL your home. Give me a ring. I look forward to talking to you and seeing if you are ready to take the next step. I am ready, are you?

In the mean time - I have put together a Master List of all the lowest Priced Homes in SoCal. They are sorted by Bed/Bath combo and then we have a list sorted by SqFt and finally sorted by Private Pool.

Just think, if you wanted you could search just like I do and have access to the same search tools. You could search by neighborhood, city and then even sort by specifics that you want and demand in your home. No need to hunt through areas you are not interested in.

I know we all have a huge amount of resources to use and as a Realtor I appreciate the opportunity you have given me to help YOU find the best fit for you and your budget.

Did You Know?

*Understanding your options
1) Your best agent is an agent who is willing to show you ALL homes for sale - Not just the ones listed by his or her office or the homes with the highest commission.
2) Your best agent is an agent who is a bit strict. You want an agent who has standards and will not have a huge file of active clients that eat up time. You want an agent that has the time and resources to focus on you and your needs.


Are you are interested in working with a Realtor who is dedicated to his clients and follows these above mentioned rules and has the expertise and support to help you be successful?

Here We Are! We made it, 2011, Here We Come!

Wow, here we are with a brand new year and all sorts of great things for everyone to be excited about.

Stock markets are up, way up. The highest they have been in quite a while. New reports of massive amounts of new jobs being added and in general an amazingly better retail season this holiday.Add in the fact that many areas in Southern California already bottomed out and are on a slow rise, we all have many reasons to be excited as the prospects for the upcoming year.

With all this in the news and ringing in our ears we all need to be sure as we move forward we DO NOT take away this great advantage we have been given.

Here are some "TOP TEN" ideas you might consider for the new year:

1) Do not take out a 2nd mortgage to fund your family vacation or a brand new SUV. This gets you on Santa's Naughty List.

2) Buy what you can afford.

3) Do not carry a cc balance to the next month and pay those amazingly painful 20% interest rates. Ouch, do you really want to still be paying those when you are 90 years old?

4) Pay down those Credit Cards! Seriously, pay down your debt. Just ask Suzie. I am sure she has even more to say on that matter

5) Increase your Credit Score to over 725. Get Golden and get an 800 score!

6) If you have not already tried - try to get a refi on your home at a lower interest rate. You could save hundreds each month or 1 or 2 extra hot dogs at COSTCO.

7) If you have not already tried - try to get a refi on your car loan at a lower interest rate. Yeah, I did not say a new lease - I said on the car you are buying.

8) There is no such thing as a "Stupid Question" when you are looking after your financial well being and the future finances of your family. If you miss getting an answer and it costs you a few extra $1000 bucks down the road,....the feeling stupid may very well apply then.

9) If you are looking to sell your current home (no matter what state or where you live) contact Ken Webb (me) and let me see what I can do or have someone else do to help you out. Yes, I am a Realtor - This is My Job.

10) If you are looking to buy a home (no matter what state of where you live) contact Ken Webb (me) and let me see what I can do or have someone else do to help you out. Yes, really I am a Realtor and I only earn a paycheck when I help you accomplish your goal.

Now, off to a short and quick topic.

Those of us who are agents should not take oursleves so seriously all of the time. I know some of youy may be shocked but,..I am human and have all the issues that being human so generously shares with me.

From the days in the summer when I am running up and down hills in Laguna Beach putting signs out, yes I sweat,..alot! To the after lunch meeting where someone forgot they ate a whole lot of garlic and onions,..LOL - Was That ME?

I am now getting close to 41 so that means i have more wrinkles and gray hair. If i am not careful and I get caught up in the SoCal Beauty contest, I could end up looking like Joan Rivers just with much chunkier legs and more facial hair.

Suddenly that all sounds a bit scary ,...Joan Rivers with 5 o'clock shadow,...or is it already happening?

Take a few moments to enjoy the lighter side of life. Besides, it is only when you are able to laugh and point out your own faults that you have any standing to notice when someone else slips up and starts to look and act human.

Got it?

Good.

Serious Laughter,

Ken Webb

p.s. I am going to use this blog to also write funny stories about other agents I encounter. Watch out, you may get your 15 minutes of fame,...well,..maybe closer to 30 seconds,....


Looking for more? Hunt me down on YouTube, Blogger, Facebook, MySpace and Listingbee.com Just type in Ken Webb KW Realtor and you will access a world of information and one very cool agent.

Tuesday Real Estate Updates - From Ken Webb


It's Tuesday!

Are you ready for a new week? I understand life gets busy for many of us and we forget to check in sometimes and stay informed.

3 THINGS TO TALK ABOUT TODAY

1) Asking questions with Heather - Your BEST option in Lending - Ask her anything.

2) Opening your Real Estate Searches.

3) Asking questions.

I had posted a very casusal blog awhile back on a conversation with a friend about how important it is to get a low rate when you are packaging your home purchase products together. I try to remind everyone that a single 1 point increase = about a 10% loss in purchase power. See--> http://kenwebbkwrealestate.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-blog-for-fun-your-monthly-estimated.html
(Copy and paste to browser window)

I want you to be aware of one of the best people I know in the loan industry and who is located right here in Laguna Niguel. I say this over and over again but it is true "You Need To Be Pre-Qualified First Before You Can Make an Offer on A Home" Heather is with Banker's Funding and has been in the Loan Industry for Years - NO she did not get all caught up in those bad loans you hear so much about. She helps me each week by helping to produce this newsleter that gives yout he 411 on what is going on - see it here--> http://www.mortgageupdate.biz/HeatherMillspaughsWeeklyMortgageNewsletter.pdf
(Copy and paste to browser window)

Also you need to be opening your Real Estate search at least once a week to stay current.

Did you know there are price drops on some of your choices while there are increases on others? It takes less than 5 minutes to take a peek at the list.

The people who actually take a look every day for under 5 minutes will have the best advantage. They get the opportunity to act first on a great home that meets their needs and desires.

Many times the best homes listed are only ACTIVE on the MLS for a short time. Take advantage of the home searches I send to you every day. If you need your link resent with your personal information LET ME KNOW! This MLS link provides you the best UP-TO-DATE search tool there is-period. NOTHING is as current or accurate.

I have this updated 4 times every hour from the OCAR, NAR, and CAR website. This assures you more pictures, better tax info on the home(s) and quicker & faster responses to searches that produce real time results. See it here--http://www.kwrealestate.listingbook.com/
(Copy and paste to browser window)

If you are serious about owing a home or selling your current home or you just need some questions answered - ask me. I know the 1st step may seem hard or you may think you can never get a home today.

NOW is the time to act. Think about it for a moment. The "Bottom of the Market" has already arrived for many areas in Orange County. The super low 3.5% rates are now on average about 5.5%. Inventory on the best homes are being snatched up fast. Real Estate in today's market has changed. Things do not always run "Like they used to".

So to recap our game plan:

1) Get ready to get Pre-qualified! This means calling Heather TODAY - and just talk to her. There is no cost and no obligation and she is a great person to get some answers to many of your questions. Heather @ Banker's Funding - Work - 949-547-5848. CALL HER TODAY! CALL CALL, CALL.

2) Get active! Open your Real Estate searches I send every morning. If you need changes made - TALK TO ME! I can help. If you lost your username or password - TALK TO ME! I can help. If you do not take just a couple of minutes each each week to open your account you will not stay ahead of the pack of Buyer's and Seller's that are competing in today's Real Estate Market.

3) Have Questions? TALK TO ME! As simple as this may sound - it is true. I cannot help you unless you let me know you need it.

I work hard to make all of the available information regarding all aspects of Real Estate available to all of you every day, updated in many cases every 15 minutes. Information on cities and communities you want to live in. Information on houses that many agents still do not share.

I give everyone access to every home for sale on the MLS - every single one. Not just my office's homes or my Broker's listings for all of California, but every single home on the market , right now. In some cases for the more serious buyer I can get you into homes that are not even listed for sale (talk about a HUGE advantage!)

Today is the day to get "jumping" and get ready to move. Shake off those cobwebs and lets get MOVING! -

Sincerely,
